Phases

Description

org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.AttributeChangeEvent

Invoke Application,
Apply Request Values

Event delivered to describe an attribute change. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

Supported Facets

Name

Description

context

Location for contextual information. A contextInfo component is expected. Facet is ignored if escape is false.

Type

Supports EL?

Description

attributeChangeListener

javax.el.MethodExpression

Only EL

a method reference to an attribute change listener. Attribute change events are not delivered for any programmatic change to a property. They are only delivered when a renderer changes a property without the application's specific request. An example of an attribute change events might include the width of a column that supported client-side resizing.

binding

oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.output.RichOutputText

Only EL

an EL reference that will store the component instance on a bean. This can be used to give programmatic access to a component from a backing bean, or to move creation of the component to a backing bean.

clientComponent

boolean

Yes

whether a client-side component will be generated. A component may be generated whether or not this flag is set, but if client Javascript requires the component object, this must be set to true to guarantee the component's presence. Client component objects that are generated today by default may not be present in the future; setting this flag is the only way to guarantee a component's presence, and clients cannot rely on implicit behavior. However, there is a performance cost to setting this flag, so clients should avoid turning on client components unless absolutely necessary.

converter

javax.faces.convert.Converter

Yes

a converter object

customizationId

String

Yes

This attribute is deprecated. The 'id' attribute should be used when applying persistent customizations. This attribute will be removed in the next release.

description

String

Yes

an additional description to be attached to the text, for use in improving accessibility. The description will be available to screen readers and other accessibility agents, but will not be otherwise visible.Not supported on the following agents: pda

Not supported on the following renderkits: oracle.adf.rich

escape

boolean

Yes

an attribute controlling whether output will be escaped for the current markup language or not. This attribute defaults to true, and should only be set to false if absolutely necessary. When set to false, you may exposed to cross-site scripting attacks if the value of this component is any way derived from values supplied by a user; see outputFormatted for a safe alternative. In addition, nearly all attributes are ignored when "escape" is set to false (e.g., "styleClass" is not output).

id

String

No

the identifier for the component. The identifier must follow a subset of the syntax allowed in HTML:

Must not be a zero-length String.

First character must be an ASCII letter (A-Za-z) or an underscore ('_').

Subsequent characters must be an ASCII letter or digit (A-Za-z0-9), an underscore ('_'), or a dash ('-').

inlineStyle

String

Yes

the CSS styles to use for this component. This is intended for basic style changes. The inlineStyle is a set of CSS styles that are applied to the root DOM element of the component. If the inlineStyle's CSS properties do not affect the DOM element you want affected, then you will have to create a skin and use the skinning keys which are meant to target particular DOM elements, like ::label or ::icon-style.

noWrap

boolean

Yes

whether whitespace wrapping should be allowed in this component.Not supported on the following renderkits: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core

partialTriggers

String[]

Yes

the IDs of the components that should trigger a partial update. This component will listen on the trigger components. If one of the trigger components receives an event that will cause it to update in some way, this component will request to be updated too. Identifiers are relative to the source component (this component), and must account for NamingContainers. If your component is already inside of a naming container, you can use a single colon to start the search from the root of the page, or multiple colons to move up through the NamingContainers - "::" will pop out of the component's naming container (or itself if the component is a naming container) and begin the search from there, ":::" will pop out of two naming containers (including itself if the component is a naming container) and begin the search from there, etc.

rendered

boolean

Yes

whether the component is rendered. When set to false, no output will be delivered for this component (the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client). If you want to change a component's rendered attribute from false to true using PPR, set the partialTrigger attribute of its parent component so the parent refreshes and in turn will render this component.

shortDesc

String

Yes

the short description of the component. This text is commonly used by user agents to display tooltip help text, in which case the behavior for the tooltip is controlled by the user agent, e.g. Firefox 2 truncates long tooltips. For form components, the shortDesc is displayed in a note window. For components that support the helpTopicId attribute it is recommended that helpTopicId is used as it is more flexible and is more accessibility-compliant.

styleClass

String

Yes

a CSS style class to use for this component. The style class can be defined in your jspx page or in a skinning CSS file, for example, or you can use one of our public style classes, like 'AFInstructionText'.

truncateAt

int

Yes

the length at which the text should automatically begin truncating. When set to zero (the default), the string will never truncate. Values from one to fifteen will display the first 12 characters followed by an ellipsis (...). The outputText component will not truncate strings shorter than fifteen characters. For example, for the value of 1234567890123456, setting truncateAt to 0 or 16 will not truncate. Setting truncateAt to any value between 1-15 will truncate to 123456789012...

unsecure

java.util.Set

Yes

A whitespace separated list of attributes whose values ordinarily can be set only on the server, but need to be settable on the client. Currently, this is supported only for the "disabled" attribute.

value

Object

Yes

the value of the component. If the EL binding for the "value" points to a bean property with a getter but no setter, and this is an editable component, the component will be rendered in read-only mode.

visible

boolean

Yes

the visibility of the component. If it is "false", the component will be hidden on the client. Unlike "rendered", this does not affect the lifecycle on the server - the component may have its bindings executed, etc. - and the visibility of the component can be toggled on and off on the client, or toggled with PPR. When "rendered" is false, the component will not in any way be rendered, and cannot be made visible on the client. In most cases, use the "rendered" property instead of the "visible" property.Not supported on the following renderkits: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core
